- Creator:
- Children of the Struggle Project
- Description:
- Glen Alpine Elementary School was one of the several schools that became involved in desegregation efforts beginning in 1965. Located in the town of Glen Alpine, just west of Morganton, this school did not play a major direct role in the movement led by the West Concord Mothers. However, its participation in the broader desegregation process reflects how the impact of the Mothers' advocacy extended beyond their own community, influencing schools throughout Burke County.
